Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers surpassed expectations last season, surprising many. For the 2024-25 NFL season, they are expected to deliver a performance akin to their recent achievements.
The Packers’ 2024 schedule has been released, showcasing a diverse set of games across various days of the week. The season begins on September 6 with an exciting game against the Philadelphia Eagles in São Paulo, Brazil. Additionally, the Packers will play on back-to-back Thursdays and will conclude with a Thanksgiving night game against the Miami Dolphins at Lambeau Field, marking just the second time they’ve hosted a Thanksgiving game since 1923.
Throughout the season, the Packers face a tough set of opponents, highlighted by a challenging stretch from Weeks 12 to 14 where they take on the San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, and Detroit Lions, all of whom had impressive records last season. This segment could be pivotal for the Packers if they aim for a playoff spot.
Looking ahead, Love is projected to be a key player, with bold predictions suggesting he may enter the MVP conversation by consistently outperforming prominent quarterbacks throughout the season. With a schedule tied for the fourth-hardest in the league, the Packers will need to leverage their strengths to succeed.
Green Bay Packers’ Projected Record for 2024-25 NFL Record Revealed
Using their schedule, Green Bay’s record for the 2024-25 NFL season can somehow be touched upon. This can be seen in an analysis done by Cynthia Frelund for the league’s official website.

FanDuel over/under: 9.5
Jordan Love was pressured in under 2.5 seconds on just 9.4 percent of his dropbacks in 2023, the second-lowest rate faced by any qualified passer. That’s the kind of protection that helps a young field general gain confidence, something we definitely saw in the second half of last season from Green Bay’s first-year starter. My model’s biggest question for the Packers: How long will it take for the defense to get comfortable in new coordinator Jeff Hafley’s scheme?
The Packers are preparing for the 2024 season with significant roster changes. Key players like A.J. Dillon and Xavier McKinney have joined the team, while veterans such as David Bakhtiari and Aaron Jones have departed. With 11 new draft picks and several undrafted free agents, the Packers aim to enhance their competitiveness in the NFC.
It remains uncertain whether Green Bay’s offseason moves will be sufficient to exceed their projected record for the upcoming season. However, with Love at the helm, surpassing those expectations is a possibility for the Packers.
